Stem sbrubby, much branched; branches pendu- 
lous, spreading all round to a great distance if not 
supported, thickly clothed with unequal rigid hairs. 
Leaves bipinnatifid or deeply laciniated, hairy on both 
sides ; segments broadly lanceolate, obtuse and toothed 
at the points. Petioles unequal in length, flattened 
and furrowed on the upper side and convex on the 
lower, very hairy. Stipules widely cordate, generally 
entire, many-nerved. Peduncles ascending, mostly 5- 
flowered, clothed with short pellucid hairs. Involucre 
of six lanceolate concave acute bractes. Pedicles very 
short. Call/ jc 5-c\eh; segments unequal, spreading, with 
membranaceous margins ; the upper one largest, lan- 
ceolate, strongly 3-nerved; the others linear and taper- 
pointed, from one to 3-nerved. Nectariferous tube 
nearly sessile, a little longer than the calyx, sharply 
keeled at the back, thickly clothed with stiff pellucid 
hairs. Corolla of four petals, the two uppermost much 
the largest, obovate, oblique, reflexed, with long ungues, 
at a distance from each other at the base, of a pale 
pinkish purple, with two dark purple lines from the 
base that are lightest upwards and slightly branched ; 
lower petals linear, scarcely longer than the calyx, 
of rather a paler colour. Filaments 10, ascendent.
